2 Claims.

This invention relates to embossed labels fashioned from thin sheetmetal or other hard surfaced materials; and it has more particularreference to labels intended for application to personal gift packagesor boxes.

My invention is directed toward provisions, in connection with a labelof the specified sort, whereby it is possible to inscribe on the labeleither with ink or pencil, the name, for example, of the person for whomthe gift in the package or box is intended. This desiderata I attain ashereinafter fully disclosed, by setting apart from the embossment of thelabel, a plain smooth-surfaced area, and by attaching to such area, acovering of paper or other non-metallic sheet material capable ofreceiving written inscriptions.

In the drawing, Fig. I shows the face of my improved label.

Fig. II is a longitudinal sectional view of the label, taken asindicated by the arrows II-II in Fig. I, and drawn to a larger scalewith an intermediate portion thereof broken out; and,

Fig. III is a transverse sectional View of the label taken as indicatedby the arrows III--III in Fig. I, likewise drawn to a larger scale andwith an intermediate portion thereof broken out.

As herein illustrated, my novel label is made from composite sheet stockconsisting of a layer 5 of very thin metal or other hard surfaced mate-`rial which is intended to serve as the label face, and a backing 6 ofcorrespondingly thin paper or the like whereof the exposed rear face iscoated with adhesive as conventionally represented at r1. The label maybe die stamped or otherwise profile cut, and at the same time, orafterwards-as may be found expedient in practise-ornamentally embossed,the embossment including, in the present instance, a raised perimetricedge bead 8, and a floral border design 9 inward of the said edge bead.The area designated by the numeral 10 may contain a suitable poem orlegend in embossed letters such as shown (Cl. l1-24) at 11 havingreference to the contents of the package or box with which the label isintended to be used.

In order to make it possible to inscribe upon the label with pen orpencil the name of the person to whom the package or box is to be given,I set apart, incident to stamping the label, a plain smooth area12-which may be of any desired shape, for example, oblong asillustrated-by an outlining bead 13, and attach to such smooth area, astrip 14 of suitable sheet material like paper having a soft surfacecapable of receiving the ink or pencil inscriptions.

My improved label is obviously susceptible of unlimited variation bothasregards profile configuration and ornamental infield embossment; and Ido not therefore Wish to be limited to the specific design which hasbeen selected for convenience of illustration herein.

Having thus described my invention, I claim:

l. As a new article of manufacture, an ornamentally embossed label ofthe character described made from thin hard-surfaced paper.- backedsheet metal the exposed rear face whereof is coated with adhesive, saidlabel having a smooth area in the midst of the ornamental embossment,and a covering of attached paper over said area capable of receivinghand-Written inscriptions in ink or pencil.

2. As a new article of manufacture, a personal label of the typedescribed made from thin hardsurfaced paper-backed metal having theexposed rear face coated with a suitable adhesive, Vsaid label beingembossed to include a raised perimetric edge with an inward ornamentalbordering design and a legend in raised characters, and an infieldsmooth area within the border design having' an attached element thereoncapable of receiving hand-written inscriptions in ink or pencil.
